Looking back on our Camp-Plant-Hike activity, our hearts are so full witnessing how participants shared their personal learnings and the real-life realities they face. Though the camp has ended, the impact of this journey stays with us.

Muli, mula sa DENR-BMB, taos-puso kaming nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng nakilahok at naging bahagi ng tagumpay ng pagtitipon na ito! 💚

Kabataang CALABARZON, Sugo ng Bayan,
Bantay Kalikasan, ARAT NA! ⛺ 🌳

From 27 to 29 October 2026, the DENR-Biodiversity Management Bureau successfully conducted this year’s Philippine Biodiversity Camp for Youth (PBCY) in complementation with the Camp-Hike-Plant activity of DENR CALABARZON in Majayjay, Laguna.

With the theme “Empowering Youth for Biodiversity Conservation", the 3-day event engaged around 100 youth participants in understanding the challenges facing Philippine biodiversity and translated this understanding into conservation actions, featuring insightful sessions led by Mitzi B. Pamulaklakin from the Wildlife Resources Division and Princess Mariel R. Razon from the National Parks Division.

The interactive learning sessions continued on the second day with a tree-growing activity and discussions on community preparedness and Super El Niño mitigation, concluding with team-building activities. The final day of the camp featured an exchange of realizations and learnings from the Camp-Hike-Plant activity, encouraging youth to translate their advocacies into concrete actions for biodiversity conservation.

Kaya mula sa kabataan hanggang pamayanan, ipagpatuloy natin ang ating nasimulan hanggang sa mga susunod pang taon!✨

The ocean has its own horror story, and it's unfolding right here in the Philippines 🌊

Meet Pora, a little coral who doesnt know why shes turning white. This Halloween, we want to highlight a horror story thats happening underwater.

Our oceans are warming, and Philippine coral reefs are increasingly at risk. While bleached corals aren't necessarily dead, prolonged heat stress can push them closer to death and threaten the ecosystems and communities that depend on them.

Swipe through to read Pora’s story of Coral Bleaching 🪸
While we celebrate Halloween, lets not forget that most horror stories are happening in our reality.
